watcher Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 I have the latest Omega SMP GMT from River but the crystal is horribly reflective. I've just been looking on Ofrei and they do quote for OEM OMEGA Antireflective crystals but by case numbers. Do any of our resident experts know if a). A swap is possible . Which one I would need to order. Thanks!
ob1w0n Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 nice crown, but what is with the 12 hour markers? they look corroded. As for the crystal swap, I would also be curious if a swap is possible.
watcher Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Posted June 7, 2006 The hour markers are fine. It is not the best photo I've ever taken! Come guys who knows the answer to the magic question.
marrickvilleboy Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Actually, i've done a crystal swap for the 2254.5000 black SMP. I think on Ofrei's site, its the OME-062SA3008 Omega Anti-Reflective Sapphire Crystal $149USD. 2 thing you want to consider. 1. I had trouble installing it on my case, so i had to use Adhesive to make it fit. 2. You are better off getting a flat crystal for $10USD instead, it will eliminate the glare and distortion as its not domed. hope this helps

Would it be incorrect, to remove the crystal from the watch and then measure it from the open side or is this done from the top of the watch?
zetterdawg Posted July 10, 2006 Report Posted July 10, 2006 Can't you take the current crystal to an optician and have AR applied? THat might be cheaper (I think 80 $ roughly)
Glitch Posted July 10, 2006 Report Posted July 10, 2006 Can't you take the current crystal to an optician and have AR applied? THat might be cheaper (I think 80 $ roughly) But it's a rep. By the time you factor in your additional costs you would have blown your budget. But that's just my $0.02.
watcher Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Posted July 11, 2006 I may have it AR coated yet. I'm having a go with my 187 crystal with a company here in the U.K. and will post results.
Pugwash Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 I have the latest Omega SMP GMT from River but the crystal is horribly reflective. Dude, the toilet? Light a match.
watcher Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Posted July 11, 2006 Dude, the toilet? Light a match. And that means what in English?
Pugwash Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 And that means what in English? It was a humorous comment about you taking the picture in what appears to be your toilet.
watcher Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Posted July 11, 2006 Ah I see. I did'nt understand as it was taken under the cooker hood lighting I usually take pics in the crapper though as the lights are good!
Perfectionist Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 watcher, how'd things go with the AR coating ?
watcher Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Posted July 28, 2006 Not had this one AR coated yet. Waiting to get my 187 crystal back hopefully today sometime and see what the results are like. Will update later.
